Turning a Small Tool Handle with Brass Ferrule - How To - Woodturning

This is an instructional video for turning a small tool handle. I made this video for First State Woodturners' August 2024 meeting. We had a "Tool Making Workshop" during that meeting, where we ground 10 mm x 200 mm high speed steel (HSS) rods into "point tools" and round skews. There's a video on FSW's RUclips channel that details the grinding of those tools, and how they are used for various woodturning tasks: / @firststatewoodturners
You can find the HSS rods on Amazon, approximately $12 for a pack of 2: amzn.to/4fUXQNr
You can also get brass tubes on Amazon for ferrules. I got the 1" OD, but the 3/4" OD would be fine, too: amzn.to/4e03zzD
